Modern Submission Grappling: A No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Manual
Miha’s amazing analytical abilities and in-depth experience create a book that is absolutely packed with knowledge. This manual is a must-read! - Justin Flores, Olympic Judo Coach, D1 Wrestler & Star MMA Coach It takes most people roughly a decade to get to the coveted jiu jitsu black belt. Far too many quit along the way for various reasons. The purpose of this book is to ensure confusion or lack of understanding are not one of those reasons. Double black belt Miha Perhavec lays out the key positions and techniques of modern submission grappling in a highly organized fashion. This manual also features hundreds of curated pictures to help grapplers have more fun and success in training and perhaps even competition.

It took me a few weeks to ultimately decide which BJJ book to buy first.
My criteria was this:
1. At least 200 pages
2. Clear comprehensible photos
3. Written in a way simpletons such as myself could understand.
4. An author with real experience and knowledge in BJJ.
Modern Submission Grappling -A No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Manual exceeded all expectations.
Despite being raised in Slovenia, Miha clearly has not only mastered Jiu-Jitsu, but he has also mastered English. The writing is excellent. His explanations of moves are clear and concise and easy to visualize. His writing style is witty, clever, and his references to himself are humble and modest.
Miha has also done a good job pointing out major mistakes and potential hazards. He keeps jiu-jitsu fun and safe.
Obviously, as my instructor taught me, you can't learn jiu-jitsu by yourself. If you think you can buy a book and teach yourself jiu-jitsu - you are a fool. However, Modern Submission Grappling is an excellent supplement along with hours and hours and months and months and years and years of training jiu-jitsu in the gym.
As an author, an English teacher, and a bjj student with a blindingly white white belt I wholeheartedly recommend this book for jiu-jitsu practitioners.
